Chapter 262 - Return Everything

He heard Old Master Wang’s voice.

In the room, Old Master Su revealed a look of annoyance. He originally didn’t want to come out, but when he heard Old Master Wang’s last sentence, Old Master Su was also frightened.

He hurriedly got up and came out. He was very unconvinced by Old Master Wang. He was just relying on the fact that he was the village chief to target the Su family and help outsiders.

When Old Master Su came out, Old Master Wang said angrily to him, “Fourth Dog Su, you’re good. Your granddaughter has gone out of line, but you still don’t know how to behave. You even want everyone to know. You’re very capable. Do you think your family can cover the sky with one hand? That’s just a few taels of silver…”

Old Master Wang’s accusation made Old Master Su feel embarrassed.

Moreover, it attracted the attention of the village chief. Many people in the village came to watch. Hearing the village chief’s accusation, everyone laughed.

Old Master Su felt even more ashamed. Why was it like this every time?

Old Master Wang’s face darkened as he gritted his teeth and said angrily to Madam Wang, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the money.”

After being hit, Madam Wang’s entire body hurt. She was immediately unwilling. She looked at Madam Liu and said angrily, “Then how are we going to settle the matter of her hitting us? She was extremely vicious. They have to compensate for the medical fees!”

If she returned the money like this, wouldn’t she have been beaten for nothing? Then what was the point of refusing to return the money?

Madam Wang still dared to ask for medical fees. Old Master Wang felt really tired. This family was really hopeless.

When Madam Liu heard this, she laughed and spat at Madam Wang. Then, she said, “You shameless sow, you dare to ask me for medical fees. Your face is really thicker than the city wall. You’re really shameless. In my opinion, why don’t you just go to the officials and let the officials judge? What kind of crime had the Su family’s daughter committed!”

Old Master Wang gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, “Fourth Dog Su, if the officials spread the scandal, your family will move out of the Southern Mountain Village.”

For a village to have a daughter with two husbands was a bad influence. It affected not only the Su family, but also the entire village’s unmarried daughters.

Old Master Wang was really annoyed. His patience had reached its limit.

Old Master Su was stunned for a moment before reacting. He immediately felt extremely embarrassed. Old Master Wang had scolded them so directly. He really didn’t care about his face at all.

Old Master Su looked at Madam Wang angrily and roared, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the money. Do you really want to see the officials? This is all your fault. You can’t even manage the family well. What’s the use of having you?!”

Old Master Su blamed Madam Wang for the unacceptable humiliation, as if this had nothing to do with him.

Madam Wang felt aggrieved and tears flowed from her eyes. She staggered as she turned around and wiped her bitter tears before entering the house.

“What kind of people are in your village?”

Madam Liu frowned and muttered.

Old Master Wang explained awkwardly, “This has nothing to do with the village. This is what their family is like. The other girls in our village are all good girls.”

Thinking about how Su Yufang almost had two husbands, Old Master Wang felt embarrassed. He originally thought that the Su family would tuck their tails between their legs and settle the matter. Who knew that they would cause such a scene?

Old Master Wang didn’t want to ruin the village’s reputation because of this matter. He smiled at Madam Liu and said, “I’ve lived to this age, and I’ve never seen such a thing. Not to mention me, even my father and grandfather’s generation didn’t have such a thing.”

Madam Liu believed him. She nodded but did not say anything.

Old Master Wang looked at Luo Chuan. Luo Chuan was actually not bad. His parents had passed away, and his uncle and Auntie had raised him. Previously, when Su Yufang was engaged, Madam Zhou was very happy. She said that Su Yufang would be able to take over the family after marrying over because Madam Liu had said that she would not care about Luo Chuan getting married.

Luo Chuan’s family had a few acres of good land. Luo Chuan was also a diligent person and did not have any bad habits, so it was not bad for a woman to marry over.

But humans were just so insatiable.

Although Luo Chuan was good, he was inferior to the scholar, Xu Bowen. If they were to compare, there were better people in this world. How could they switch up every time they see a better candidate like this?

As a person, it was best to know how to be content. Su Yufang’s reputation was already ruined. In his opinion, she might not be good at all.

As a person, one could never lose face. This was the basics of being a person. It was easy to lose it, but it was not easy to gain it back. In his opinion, the days of Su Yufang’s regret were still ahead.

Madam Wang took out the money. She wanted to throw it at Madam Liu, but when she met Madam Liu’s fierce gaze, she was afraid. Madam Liu was not her daughter-in-law, so Madam Liu would not give in to her.

Madam Wang walked to Luo Chuan’s side and placed the silver in his arms. “Take it.”

Luo Chuan took the money and handed it to Madam Liu.

Madam Liu took it.

Madam Wang gritted her teeth and said, “I’ve returned it to you. You can leave now, right?”

Madam Liu snorted coldly. “What’s the hurry? I haven’t counted the money yet. What can’t a black-hearted family like yours do? I want to make it clear in person that it’s correct and not a single cent less. What’s mine will be mine.”

After Madam Liu finished speaking to Madam Wang, she looked at Old Master Wang and said, “Village Chief Wang, don’t you think that makes sense?”

Old Master Wang nodded. “That’s right.”

Sigh… How embarrassing. He just wanted it to end quickly.

When Madam Wang saw that Madam Liu wanted to count the money, her eyes flickered.

Her abnormal expression did not escape everyone’s eyes. Old Master Wang’s expression darkened.

Old Master Su’s expression turned even uglier as he roared, “You old b*stard, did you give her less than you should?”

Madam Wang naturally refused to admit it. She argued, “Why would I lack this bit of money? I’m old, so it’s normal for me to count wrongly.”

Madam Liu was about to throw up. This family was really disgusting.

She was instantly cautious. She counted seriously and there were really 20 copper coins less.

Without waiting for Madam Liu to speak, Madam Wang turned around and left. She said, “If I counted wrongly, so be it. I’ll make up for it.”

Madam Liu sneered. “Tsk, I’ve finally seen your Southern Mountain Village today.”

Old Master Wang was originally an outsider, but he was also so embarrassed that his face turned red.

Usually, if anything happened to the Su family, it would only be with Su Sanlang and Su Xiaozhi. Now that it had become like this with the Luo family, they would lose face and the entire village would lose face.

Old Master Su didn’t even dare to look at Old Master Wang.

Madam Wang took out 20 copper coins and gave them to Madam Liu. She still defended herself. “I didn’t do it on purpose. I’m old and it’s normal for me to count wrongly. Now that I’ve returned the betrothal money to you, your family will have nothing to do with ours in the future.”

Madam Liu put away the money and mocked coldly, “I wouldn’t want this shameless woman from your family for free. Pfft.”
